Description
We are Emmanuelle and Mickael, a French couple, with 3 children (a 12 y.o. daughter, 10 and 6 y.o. sons) and a dog (3 y.o.).
We live in a big house in the Jura mountains at 1200m asl surrounded by nature (2km from Lajoux 39310)
We are both working part time and we are doing home schooling with our 3 kids so we spend a lot of time together at home or outside, meeting other families or having fun in the nature.
We eat organic food and a not much meat. We are very much concerned about ecology and we try to reduce our impact.
We love nature and we are practicing various outdoors activities that we would be happy to share with our hosts: hiking, mountain biking, tennis, cross country skiing, horse riding, walking in the forest around the house, etc.
We need help for :
- helping us with our house renovation : we would like someone clever handed who like DIY.
- speaking and playing in english with our kids
There is no public transport from our village to the nearby cities but we can lend you a bicycle or drive you some days to the nearest towns.
